Well we took our truck to our local truck/ hitch guy. He said they never hooked the rail to the truck frame. He is having a guy that does custom welding in to look at it. He seemed pretty positive they can fix the problem. Thanks again to all of you that weighed in on our problem.
Scarey that someone would actually install the hitch that way. After getting it installed correctly, I would be having a very frank conversation with whoever did the original install.
Curious why a welder would be needed to fix/install it correctly. With the correct brackets, the rails are bolted to the truck frame.
